A couple of weeks ago, Ross and I went to our absolute favorite local food event of the year: La Dolce Vita.

It's a fundraiser for the Austin Museum of Art, and has been going strong for 22 years. It usually sells out too. Why? Oh ... perhaps it has something to do with the fact that 50 Austin restaurants and wineries come out, and sample their absolute yummiest, most tempting delights.

Samples top to bottom: La Sombra, The Driskill, The Alamo Drafthouse, The Carillon, Sao Paulo's.

Ross and I basically starve ourselves for the day before this event, so we can feast in full gluttonous fashion. Last year I was so entertained by the people running around in full-body colored latex suits that I could hardly CONCENTRATE on the food ... but this year, I resolved to take my eating more seriously. So I brought Danger Kate along with me for the task! (Danger Kate is my camera.)
